I don't care if the Japanese company pushed crappy masters onto ADV. There's no excuse for them selling me that crappy video quality Full Metal Panic Fumoffu DVD box set. So, I bought the Japanese version for TSR. Well, I wasn't really thinking about it, but since they released a nice compact boxset for it, I picked it up. One thing is for sure, though. I'm not buying anything ADV again, for the rest of my life! I'll buy R2, R3, or just not watch it, than give them another penny!
This show is very entertaining, but more in a one-shot kind of way than repeat viewing kind of way. It's still not bad for repeat viewing, though, especially some of the episodes. As a one or two shot show, though, it is very impressive, especially the animation. On the other hand, I didn't think the dialogues were all that clever. I mean, Seikai series has great lines. This one is just so-so.
Oh, and the Hong Kong coverage bonus video is boring. I didn't even watch half of it yet. I don't know if I'll ever go through it all. It's just too long and not informative enough. Thankfully, the audio commentaries by seiyuu are good.
It's a (relatively) old show, so not much to say. I bet most people already watched it long before I did. Yeah, I'm looking at you, immoral downloader.
Good thing he doesn't keep bullets in his school locker (or does he?), but too bad for Kaname he left the notebook in the submarine's locker.
Ikeda Kazumi keeps a Glock under her desk. Don't mess with her! Personally, I prefer the good ol' single-action 1911.
